3逐步講解 Steps
- 場景:動物園The zoo is a fun place 點出場景是動物園,一個有趣的地方。園裡有 lions、tigers、elephants,monkeys 十分活潑,jump around 到處跳。讀這類文字時,先找出地點和動物,等於在地圖上定好位置,之後的細節就有依靠。易錯位:動物詞表示整類時常用複數,用 there is 或 there are 帶出。
- 時間資訊There is a bird show at two o'clock,兩點有一場雀鳥表演。時刻用 at 帶出,時間資訊最常出現在告示牌和海報上。找時間時留意 o'clock、a.m.、p.m. 這類標記,見到就放慢速度。易錯位:there is 後面接單數的 a bird show,如果有多場表演就要改用 there are;時刻之前用 at,不用 in 或 on。
- 兩個重要牌大門口的牌寫 Buy your ticket here,在這裡購票;另一塊牌寫 Do not feed the animals,不要餵飼動物。讀牌時先看動詞:一塊叫人做,一塊叫人不要做,方向完全相反。易錯位:牌上的字通常短而直接,閱讀時先抓住動詞,再留意開頭有沒有 Do not 這種否定詞。
- 祈使句牌Buy your ticket here 是祈使句,叫人做事;Do not feed 是否定祈使句,禁止人做事。祈使句以原形動詞開頭,省去主詞 you,因為對象人人都知道;否定就在動詞前加 Do not。易錯位:祈使句的動詞保持原形,不加 s,也不加 to;Do not 之後同樣用原形動詞 feed。
- 開放時間The zoo is open from nine to five,開放時間由九點至五點。from 加起點,to 加終點,合起來表示一段時間範圍,例如 from Monday to Friday、from two to four。易錯位:from 和 to 要成對出現,只寫 from nine 就不完整;is open 形容開放的狀態,不要寫成 is opening。
- 為什麼要讀牌Remember to read the signs first. They keep us and the animals safe. 進入場所先讀牌,牌子就是安全規矩:一塊教我們購票,一塊保護動物不被亂餵。signs 用複數,因為牌子不止一塊。易錯位:remember to 加原形動詞表示記得去做,remember doing 則指記得曾經做過,兩者意思不同。
- 句式練習引述牌子內容用 says:The sign says "Do not feed the animals." 主詞 the sign 加動詞 says,再加牌上的字,用引號包住。試一試引述另一塊牌:The sign says "Buy your ticket here." 易錯位:says 是第三人稱單數形式;引號之內照抄牌子原文,不必改動詞形式或加主詞。
5例題示範 Example
動物園讀牌任務:把三塊牌配回意思,並回答兩條問題。

- 牌二:Do not feed the animals,意思是不要餵飼動物,否定祈使句禁止做。
- 牌三:Open from nine to five,意思是九點至五點開放,from 加 to 說範圍。
- 答 Q1:What time is the bird show? 答 At two o'clock,時刻前用 at。
- 答 Q2:What must we not do? 答 Feed the animals,正是被禁止的那件事。
- 引述練習:The sign says "Buy your ticket here." 用 says 報出牌子內容。
- 答案:購票牌:在入口購票;Do not feed the animals:不要餵飼動物;開放時間:nine to five;雀鳥表演:at two o'clock。
